A Sub-Trope of Improvised Armour; one good way to give yourself an improvised helmet is putting a bucket (either plastic, wooden or metal) over your head. Alternatively it can also be a metal pot, colander or saucepan too. It's most likely to be used by children, when either playing pretend or they actually need some kind of protection (See Weapon Jr.). You may have noticed that in real life it's hard to wear and ridiculously easy to remove because of the handle. The name may also be used as an insult.
While most examples usually wear the bucket properly (as properly as you can wear it at least) by having it above their eyes, some instead wear the full bucket over their entire heads turning them into The Faceless. With only an eye hole/slit or two to see out of, although for Rule of Funny sometimes there is no eyeholes to see out of.
See also Cool Helmet. Not to be confused with the late Medieval great helm, which is sometimes called a bucket helm because of its shape but unlike the improvised variety is not actually made from a bucket.

Divinity: Original Sin II: You can put a wooden bucket on your head as functional armor. It grants 3 to your Physical Defense, which is not terrible for something you'll just find lying around very early in the game before real armor is readily available. The downside is that it also gives you a -1 to your initiative, as the bucket covers your eyes.

Early in The Belgariad, Garion and his friend play-fight using, among other kitchen implements, a pot helmet and pot-lid shields. This does not go down well with his overprotective aunt, who is also the mistress of the kitchen. As a bit of an Ironic Echo, many years later in The Malloreon, the same aunt provides Belgarion with a lidded pot, which are converted into an actual helm and shield via the use of a little scrap steel from a broken knife, a fair amount of river clay, and no small amount of sorcerous transmutation by Durnik.

The Simpsons:
In one of the shorts from The Tracey Ullman Show days, Lisa and Maggie put cooking pots on their heads to play Space Patrol; Bart puts a vase on his head and it promptly slides down, blocking his vision.
"Lisa The Simpson" has Homer and Bart putting pots on their heads and then charging at each other head first.
When Groundskeeper Willie is momentarily homeless and stuck in the rain, Marge offers to let him stay at the Simpson house. Willie turns down the offer at first, saying he'll be find as long as he has a pot to keep his head dry. Marge points out that it's a collander; "So that's where all me soup went!"

During a MythBusters test regarding how easily one could get lost in the wilderness in certain conditions, Adam and Jamie wore buckets on their heads to limit visibility to just a few feet. The technique was effective; Adam got lost, while Jamie only kept a straight path because of his wilderness survival training.

Total Drama:
The first part of a multistep dare in "I Triple Dog Dare You!" that Heather has to perform is to have a bucket filled with pigsty mud dunked over her head. The bucket next serves as a helmet when she's loaded into a cannon and shot into the rest of the mud pile at pointblank range.
When Chef introduces DJ to kitchen duty in "The Chefshank Redemption", DJ has to wear a saucepan on his head as a stand-in for a helmet while Chef goes all military on his instructions.
In preparation for the gladiatorial match in "Brains Vs Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown", Lightning dons himself in makeshift armor. He cuts open a saucepan's side to make room for his face and hammers the pan down to fit around his skill. The rudimentary helmet serves him for most of the match until by chance Cameron knock it off him.

A somewhat more serious use of the trope features in The Sharing Knife series. As a prank, a Lakewalker tells one of the local Muggles that Lakewalker "groundsense" can be blocked by metal (such as by wearing a pot on one's head). This is totally untrue; wearing a metal pot on your head doesn't affect groundsense one little bit. Although the results of this prank are played for a good bit of comedic effect, the underlying issue of the lack of trust between "Farmers" and Lakewalkers (and the fact that this lack of trust is not totally without basis) is treated as a fundamentally serious problem.

Plants vs. Zombies:
The Buckethead Zombie wears a metallic bucket helmet, which gives him considerable defense compared to the normal zombie or the roadcone-wearing Conehead Zombie. During the time travel-related shenanigans in Plants Vs Zombies 2, the Buckethead Zombie's variants get different buckets or similar objects related to their time period, such as the Buckethead Pirate's wooden bucket or the Buckethead Cowboy's spittoons, to name a few.
Crazy Dave, the player's assitant between levels, is iconic for being, well... crazy, but also for wearing a saucepan on his head for a helmet.

At one point in one of the Pippi Longstocking books, Pippi puts a bucket over her head as a helmet. It covers her eyes. She proceeds to trip over something and says it's a good thing she was wearing the bucket or she'd have hurt herself — to which Tommy and Annika comment that if she hadn't been wearing the bucket she wouldn't have tripped in the first place.

In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Welcome to the Chum Bucket", Spongebob has to wear a Chum Bucket bucket "helmet" while working at the titular restaurant. The "helmet" however is really just a bucket-shaped hat and is just a uniform instead of armor.
The Chum Bucket bucket helmets appear again in the first SpongeBob movie as a Mind-Control Device Plankton uses to brainwash the citizens of Bikini Bottom as part of his Plan Z.

In The Adventures of the American Rabbit, Rob, the title character's secret identity, is menaced by a gang of jackal bikers. The leader wears a metal helmet, and when complimented on it he insists that it's actually not a helmet, it's a kettle. And what do you cook in a kettle like this? Rabbit stew.

Team Fortress 2:
A craftable hat for the Soldier is a saucepan, worn in the expected fashion. Given both his violent Cloud Cuckoolander tendencies and his implied crushing poverty, it's oddly fitting.
The bucket helmet from Plants Vs Zombies is available as a hat for Soldier, as is the cone hat for the Pyro.

Clash Royale: The Royal Recruits are more or less conscripts, they have somewhat practical yet obviously low-level armor and weapons. They also all wear helmets that are actually just wooden buckets with metal studded bands wrapped around it that cover their entire head. For added hilarity while the buckets do have a large rectangular eye hole, it's actually for their big noses and they also have plumes on top of said wooden bucket helmets as if that makes them anymore viable as helmets.

In the Sands of Destruction manga, Rhi'a ends up with a bucket on her head soon after meeting the World Destruction Committee. She isn't doing it for protection, though; she's just looking for Kyrie and thought perhaps he'd be in there, making it sort of a cross of this and Lampshade Wearing (though she isn't drunk; just cuckoo).

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom:
Some of the NPCs you fight alongside in the Monster Control Crew side quests wear buckets on their heads as makeshift helmets.
Reede, the mayor of Hateno Village, wears one during a sidequest to protect a local farmer's experimental crop of pumpkins from monsters. It mostly serves to show how unprepared he is for combat, as he'll flee the battle (causing a mission failure and forcing you to try again) if he takes too many hits.
